Let me star by saying I believe in Jesus. The Jewish religious leaders of the time, basing their opinion on old testament writings, criticized much of what Jesus did as an atrocity to God.
Do you realize that the book of Leviticus was handed down orally for centuries before being written down in ancient Hebrew. Even if the final text didn't vary from the original, which is highly unlikely, it would have been effected by cultural bias and poor transcription. Then there is the translation difficulties. Just google alternate Leviticus translations and you will discover enough to create doubt in your mind about the intended direction of that Leviticus passage, not to mention that the old Hebrew text made no mention of women. So lesbians aren't even in the conversation.
What about 1 Cor. 6:9-10 and Rom 1:26-28?
1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
Rom. 1:26-28, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper."
